Question

Write an essay on "Do You Agree with Capital Punishment? 

Answer 1

      Many people believe that those, who commit the most cruel crimes ought to be sentenced to death. I understand their point of view and I fully agree with this statement.  

      There are obvious reasons of sentencing the murderers to death. To start with, if they kill someone, they do not feel anything. Their only one purpose is to assassinate without a reason , just like that. It makes them feel blissful. They are called psychopaths.   What’s more, if they will be caught and sent to prison there is a tremendous peril that in years to come they will be set free and start murdering  again.

      Furthermore, in the entire world there are many mentally disturbed people, who kidnap  others, only  to torture them and after having finished it kill them in cold blood.                  

      On the other hand, some people may maintain that capital punishment is highly improper as for instance a wrong person could be caught or someone could have been set up, they, however fail to notice that everything is precisely checked.                 

      Taking everything into account, although some people might declare otherwise, I personally believe that there is no other way to stop the criminals from their acts and applying the death penalty is indispensible.



I hope I was of help,

Answer 2

Do i agree on capital punishment:

Crime is everywhere. Wherever we look, we find criminals and crime. Criminals have become a part of our daily lives. Does this mean we let them be the darkness of our society? No, definitely not. Eliminating crime and criminals is our duty, and we cannot ignore it. Getting the rightly accused to a just punishment is very important.

Deterrence means to punish somebody as an example and to create fear in other people for the punishment. Death penalty is one of those extreme punishments that would create fear in the mind of any sane person. Ernest van den Haag, in his article "On Deterrence and the Death Penalty" mentions, "One abstains from dangerous acts because of vague, inchoate, habitual and, above all, preconscious fears" 

 If people commit a crime while facing an imprisonment sentence, then their sentence should be changed to death sentence, since it is evident that they are just habitual to committing crimes and are a constant threat to the society, including the other inmates.

Some people might think that death penalty is inhuman and barbarous, but ask those people who have lost their beloved or whose lives have been tied to a hospital bed because of some barbarous person. I am sure they would be very unhappy to see the person who ruined their lives just getting a few years of imprisonment or mere rehabilitation. Consider the example of the rapist and killer given above. Now, suppose the woman raped was your wife, sister, or daughter. How would you feel knowing that the person who ruined your family is calm.

 I believe that death penalty should not be abolished, as it ensures the safety of the society, brings justice to those who have suffered and most importantly helps in reducing crime and criminals in our society. Death penalty is important to keep the brightness of justice and public safety shining brightly on our society.
